There are times I really don't understand why a track made it to the playlist. This is one of those times. RP should all be about 'outstanding' - all of the time. Sorry, this is very average. . .

Never really liked this band and I have seen them a couple of times at very festivals and what not. |

Mute on, iTunes on. 2 from the soporific Nottingham jury To each his own, I guess. I'd take Jump over James Blunt any day of the week. James's voice doesn't hold a candle to Jay's. To me, Jay's voice compares pretty favorably to Jeff Buckley's (though I agree that the vocal range he has isn't very evident on this track). I'd recommend checking out other songs on this CD (especially "Angel Dust", "Mothers Eyes", and "Come Around"), if you're up for giving them another shot. For those interested, this song was written as a tribute to the father of two of the band members, as he was dying of cancer. Very touching lyrics, especially when put into that context. Who was it that said to me
That heroes will live forever?
Where are they now,
Now that I'm standing alone?
If you will go and not return,
Leave me some words of wisdom.
If I cannot follow where you go,
I'll promise to teach what I have heard.

I thought this read "Jump Little Chikens" - A way better name for a band

Absolutely great vocal range, and really something to see in concert, especially if you are able to catch one of his acoustic shows, where it's just him playing guitar and singing.
If only he'd have more shows! I keep missing him. It's bad enough that I discovered JLC after their end, so I'm dying to see Jay. |

Having adult children is way more fun than I thought it would be.
Sure is, isn't it. My son and daughter are constantly turning me on to new bands. And then there's the phone call: "Hey dad, I've got an extra ticket to Flogging Molly. You busy on Tuesday?" Happens just enough to keep me guessing and rocking. Then I dig through their CDs and scan their iPods, and find all the stuff that I played when they were growing up. Music cuts across the years. |

For fans of this song & band...Jay Clifford (the lead singer of the, sadly, now defunct Jump, Little Children) now has a new solo CD out, called "Driving Blind". Zach Braff (of "Scrubs" and "Garden State" fame) recently directed a video for the first single, "Know When To Walk Away", which was also recently featured on "Grey's Anatomy". Overall, the CD is very good. A little more radio-friendly than some of Jump's stuff (reminds me a lot of "Between The Dim & The Dark"). You can purchase it via his MySpace page, CD Baby, CD Universe, BuySwag, and Amazon.com (as mp3's only on Amazon). I'll be adding a few songs from this CD to the LRC page on RP, as I get free slots. |

Just dusted off the old Licorice Tea Demos a couple weeks ago. Used to listen to that in high school on the way down to Charleston. Miss those days, and I miss seeing Jump down there or here in Columbia. |
